In a move aimed at protecting packages from would-be thieves, Amazon is rolling out a security camera/smart lock bundle that would allow deliveries to be left inside the home. The $250 bundle includes an Amazon Key-compatible smart lock and Key Edition Amazon Cloud Cam that would allow Amazon Prime members the ability to watch a package be delivered inside their home.
While it’s probably not for everyone, Amazon has tried to make the process feel as secure as possible, with notifications sent the morning of delivery, just before, and right after, along with the ability to watch the delivery happening live or view a video clip of it later. The locks — provided by Yale — are available in a variety of finishes to compliment most doors.
The bundle is currently avail;able for pre-order but is exclusive to Amazon Prime members.
